littleleicesterfox Posted June 5, 2009 Share Posted June 5, 2009 There were only three candidates in our ward, the lib dem, a tory called Chuck Berry (I kid you not!) and, for the green party, Sophy Fearnley-Whittingstall. She may have stood more of a chance with me if her campaign literature said: 'like my brother, TV's Hugh Fearnley-Whittingstall...' and I though 'who else is it going to be? If you're going to trade on your famous connections at least don't treat us like morons - I'm sure 'Like my brother, Hugh' would have been adequate!' I think she'd have lost my vote for the name-dropping! Surely the policies should be more important! Agreed! I have just realised that having a Fearnley-Whittingstall as a local council candidate makes us sound very posh - I hasten to assure people that's not actually the case! She lives about 1/2 mile away in a remote farmhouse and has stood for council because she was annoyed at the council trying to site some travellers about halfway in between our houses Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Charlottechicken Posted June 6, 2009 Share Posted June 6, 2009 I voted, I have never missed a vote yet I really think there should always be a "none of the above" box at the bottom of the voting paper Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
